It often shows [[barrel distortion]] near the center and [[pincushion distortion]] along the edges. This type forms a bubble in the image center and is also reffered to as '''bubble distortion'''. The opposite variant with [[pincushion distortion]] in the center and [[barrel distortion]] along the edges exists too, but is rarely seen in real life lenses.
